What deep effect does the possibility of a change in power through elections have on leaders’ behaviour?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They start taking people’s expectations and criticism seriously

Correct answer: A. When leaders know that voters can remove them in the next election, they have a strong reason to listen to public expectations, explain their policies, and respond to criticism. This is called political accountability: those who exercise power must answer to the people. The possibility of losing office does not guarantee that every leader will behave perfectly, but it creates democratic pressure to perform and remain connected with citizens. A is correct because electoral competition links leaders’ future power to public judgement. B is wrong because the question asks about the democratic pressure created by elections, which encourages responsiveness rather than automatic distance. C is wrong because accepting the result is a separate democratic norm, not the effect described here. D is wrong because deleting voter lists would undermine elections and is not a normal consequence of accountability. Memory cue: the possibility of losing power makes rulers answerable.
